I am getting constant I/O error when cumulus is attempting to write to a log file.

23/05/2012 5:00:00 AM Error closing data file: C:\Cumulus\data\May12log.txt. I/O error 103

Please help. I have renamed the old file "may12logerror.txt" and allowed cumulus to create a new one, but still getting the same error.

Cheers
Greg

It's not a problem with the file itself. Something else on your system has the file open and is preventing Cumulus writing to it. The usual suspects are anti-virus programs etc.

I've started getting the following (from yesterday). I have BT Net Protect Plus / McAfee and have been running this protection since I have had BT Broadband but only now started getting this error:

14/12/2012 18:34:00 : 14/12/2012 18:34:00 Error writing data to data file: C:\Cumulus\data\Dec12log.txt. I/O error 32
14/12/2012 18:34:00 : 14/12/2012 18:34:00 Error writing EOL to data file: C:\Cumulus\data\Dec12log.txt. I/O error 103
14/12/2012 18:34:00 : 14/12/2012 18:34:00 Error closing data file: C:\Cumulus\data\Dec12log.txt. I/O error 103

Something on your system has (or had) the file open, preventing Cumulus writing to it. Try excluding the Cumulus folder from your anti-virus software. You may also need to restart Cumulus, if it's still reporting the error.

Hi Steve

Solved - new network drive software was backing up the file on every write so I've excluded the data folder and that's solved the problem.
